Hola! In the Spanish language, adjectives agree in both gender and number with the nouns they modify. This means that adjectives change their ending to match the gender and number of the nouns they describe.
When it comes to number, adjectives generally follow these rules:
1. Singular: Adjectives that modify singular nouns usually have a regular ending. For most adjectives, the ending -o is added for masculine singular nouns and -a for feminine singular nouns. For example, "alto" (tall) for a masculine noun, and "alta" for a feminine noun.
2. Plural: To make an adjective agree with a plural noun, you typically add -os for masculine plural nouns, and -as for feminine plural nouns. For example, "altos" for masculine plural, and "altas" for feminine plural.
Keep in mind that there are exceptions and irregularities in adjective endings, so it's important to learn the specific patterns and forms for each adjective.
I hope this clarifies how number affects adjectives in Spanish! Let me know if you have any more questions.
